I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. Every time I try to install the latest version of VisualSVN Server (3.3.1) I get an error saying it could not create any temporary files.

I really can't figure out what's causing this error. I am installing as an administrator.

Here is a link to the installation logs.

Any help would be appreciated!

  • The only error message I see is "DEBUG: Error 2826: Control BottomLine on dialog FatalError extends beyond the boundaries of the dialog to the right by 5 pixels". There are [similar](https://entlib.codeplex.com/discussions/83460) reports online with this error in MSI logs where the issue was Windows Update. I suspect it's a problem with Windows Installer. There are [several](https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/6c6a8b45-d2a7-4fd9-940e-41dd9e77fb7e/windows-installer-corrupted) posts out there for how to fix Windows Installer when it's broken. – Bacon Bits Apr 09 '15 at 18:41

The full error is:

MSI (s) (F8!A8) [13:29:08:907]: Product: VisualSVN Server 3.3.1 -- Error 25000. Custom action InstallWMISchemaExecute failed: Error creating temporary file (0x8004402F)

The 0x8004402F is Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) specific error code:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394559

So you have some issues with WMI on your computer. Suggested actions to troubleshoot this issue:

  • run sfc /scannow command
  • remove all files in C:\Windows\Temp directory
  • remove all files in %TEMP% directory
  • check that LOCAL SYSTEM account has full access to 'C:\Windows\Temp\ directory

  • Thank you so much! This did the trick. I would have never suspected it was WMI, as other programs were installing fine. I've got VisualSVN Server up and running just fine now. Thanks again. – Waveharp Apr 10 '15 at 03:07
  • It also makes sense to check the permissions to the user's %TEMP% directory. I.e., C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\. The error reproduces when I deny SYSTEM account access to this directory. – bahrep Jan 23 '22 at 14:46
